" ... The camera does everything it is supposed to do well, but only if you use the Samsung SmartCam app. ... "
" ... Their website to view the camera via a PC does not work with most browsers and with 3 computers and 3 different browsers I am still unable to get the login website to work. ... "
" ... The app is really bad. ... "
" ... It worked 50% of the time with Firefox, the rest of the time it would insist that I needed to download the software from the website, even if it had been working 10 minutes previously. ... Then, even more recently, it just tells me that it's no longer compatible with Firefox and to try Safari. ... What kind of product takes away functionality from two of the most used Web Browsers available (Chrome & Firefox) and tells you to use Safari? ... Safari is garbage. ... Why does this product no longer work on Firefox? ... "

" ... I started out liking this camera but the App and Web experience have become so annoying that I really cannot recommend any of the Samsung Smartcam line of cameras: ... -you cannot use Chrome to view video on the web admin, so now I have to keep IE on my machine just for this site, AND IE does not remember the password for this site, so I have to key the password in 5 times a day. ... -every time I leave and come back to the Android app it tells me that the network connection was lost, so i have to ack that message, then click to reload the video? ... why would the app not just try to reconnect? ... -the iPhone app does not remember the password, so you have to enter it every time. ... "
" ... To make matters worse Samsung uses its own software that does not work well with windows or mac operating systems. ... After installing and uninstalling the windows webviewer (the Samsung trouble shooting web page says if it does not work try uninstalling and reinstalling it) I was never able to get it to work with windows explorer or firefox. ... "
" ... However, after recent software updates it will no longer play on my PC. ... When I try to log in it says it will not work with my browser. ... I have Edge and Chrome. ... "
